jasper1234 in order to achieve this you will need to create a flow in Power Automate. So your #2, the second half of #3 and #4 can be automated. But in the first part of #3 it is not possible to pre-populate information into your form so you would need to think you could overcome this limitation then we can show you what the flow would look like.

thanks a lot for your quick reply!
Would it be possible for forms to have another kind of identifier which makes sure which specific item in the sharepoint list should get the details after the user submits the form?
The columns would always be same, but the row would be different (according to this particular order number).

- You would need to get the flow to add the ID number from the SharePoint list item into the email. The user completing the form would then need to enter that ID number into a question in the form. The second flow that runs when the form is submitted would need a filter query to update the list based on that ID number.
- thats possible. i do have a unique identifier for each item in the sharepoint list. Can the form itself check onsubmit if this ID exists? and return an error message / not submit the info in case the ID does not exist?
